dicate the  regulations  under  which  interstate  move- 
ments may  be  made.

reasonable  diligence  to  ascertain  that  such  animals  are 
not  affected  with  any  contagious  or  infectious  disease, 
and  have  not  been  exposed  to  the  contagion  or  in- 
fection of  disease  by  contact  with  other  animals  so

Regulation  21.  Cattle  of  herds  of  the  quarantined 
area  which  are  not  diseased  with  scabies  may.  when 
accompanied  by  a  permit  issued  by  an  inspector  of 
the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  within  ten  days  of 
the  date  of  shipping,  be  shipped  interstate  without  in- 
spection as  "  uninspected  clean  cattle  "  to  any  market 
or  slaughtering  center  where  inspection  is  maintained, 
or  where  facilities  are  available  for  dipping,  spray- 
ing, or  slaughtering  cattle  under  the  supervision  of 
this  Department:  ProvkleiL  That  the  permits  under 
which  such  shipments  are  made  shall  accompany  the 
billing  and  be  delivered  by  the  transportation  com- 
pany to  the  inspector  at  destination  at  the  time  of 
his  inspection  of  the  cattle.  When  so  shipped,  the 
cattle  shall  be  submitted  for  inspection  at  destination. 
If  found  upon  such  inspection  to  be  free  from  ilisease 
and  exposure  thereto  en  route,  no  further  restriction 
shall  be  placed  upon  them,  but  if  found  to  be  infected

or  to  have  been  exposed  they  shall  not  thereafter  be 
permitted  interstate  shipment  until  treated  as  here- 
inbefore prescribed  for  diseased  or  exposed  cattle,  as 
the  case  may  be. 

Cattle  not  visibly  diseased,  but  which  may  be  a 
part  of  a  diseased  herd,  may.  without  inspection,  be 
shipped  interstate  as  "uninspected  exposed  cattle" 
for  immediate  slaughter  from  points  in  the  quaran- 
tined area  to  any  recognized  slaughtering  center

cattle:  or  such  cattle  may,  without  inspection,  be 
shipped  interstate  as  "  uninspected  exposed  cattle " 
for  dipping  or  spraying  to  points  where  facilities  are 
maintained  for  dipping  or  spraying  cattle  under  the 
supervision  of  this  Department,  and  where  separate 
pens  are  i>rovided  for  yarding  exposed  cattle.  When 
"  uninspected  clean  cattle  "  or  "  uninspected  exposed 
cattle"  are  shipped  interstate  without  inspection  un- 
der the  terms  of  this  regulation  the  proper  officers  of

each  car  carrj'ing  such  cattle  a  durable  placard,  not 
less  than  5^  by  8  inches  in  size,  on  which  shall  be 
printed  with  permanent  black  ink  in  bold-face  letters 
not  less  than  1^  inches  in  h:^ight  the  words  "  unix- 

SPECTED      CLEAN      CATTLE  "      or      "'  UNINSPECTED     EXPOSED 

CATTLE,"  as  the  case  may  be.  These  placards  shall 
also  show  the  name  of  the  place  from  which  the 
shipment  was  made,  the  date  of  the  shipment  (which 
date  uuist  correspond  with  the  date  of  the  waybills 
and  other  papers),  the  name  of  the  transportation 
company,  and  the  name  of  the  place  of  destination. 
Each  of  the  waybills,  conductors'  manifests,  memo- 
randa, and  bills  of  lading  pertaining  to  such  ship- 
ments by  cars  or  boats  shall  have  the  words  "  unin- 
spected    CLEAN     CATTLE  "     Or     "  UNINSPECTED     EXPOSED 

CATTLE,"  as  the  case  may  be.  plainly  written  or 
stamped  upon  its  face.  ^  Whenever  such  shipments 
are  transferred  to  another  transportation  company  or 
into  other  cars  or  into  other  boats,  or  are  rebilled  or 
reconsigned  to  a  point  other  than  the  original  destina- 
tion, the  cars  into  which  said  cattle  are  transferred 
and  the  new  waybills,  conductors'  manifests,  memo- 
randa, and  bills  of  lading  covering  such  shipments 
by  cars  or  boats  shall  l)e  marked  as  herein  si>ecifled 
for  cars  first  carrying  said  cattle,  and  for  the  billing.

etc.,  covering:  the  same.  If  for  any  reason  the  plac- 
ards recjuired  by  this  regulation  are  removed  from 
the  car  or  are  destroyed  or  rendered  illej^ible,  they 
shall  be  innnediately  replaced  by  the  transjmrtation 
company  or  its  a.ucents,  the  intention  beinf^  that  legible 
placards  shall  be  maintained  on  the  cars  from  the 
time  of  shipment  until  they  arrive  at  destination,  and 
until  the  disposition  of  the  cars  is  indi(.'ated  by  an 
inspector  of  the  liureau  of  Animal  Industry. 

Reg-ulation  22.  Cattle  diseased  with  scabies  which 
have  been  dipped  once  in  either  the  lime-and-sulphur 
or  the  tobacco-and-sulphur  dip  under  the  supervision  of 
an  insi)ector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  within 
ten  days  of  date  of  shipment,  may  be  shipped  inter- 
state    for     immediate     slaughter     to     a     recognized 
slaughtering   center,    and   when    so   shipped   the   said 
cattle   shall    not   be   diverted   en   route   and  shall   be 
slaughtered  within  two  weeks  after  arrival  at  desti- 
nation.    If    cattle    diseased    with    scabies    are   to    be 
shipped  interstate  for  stockers  or  feeders,  they  shall 
be  dipped  twice,  ten  days  apart,  under  the  supervision 
of  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal   Industry, 
in    either    the    lime-and-sulphur    or    the   tobacco-and- 
sulphur  dip ;  or  they  shall  be  either  dipiped  once  in, 
or  sprayed  once  with,  a  properly  prepared  emulsion 
of   Beaumont   crude   petroleum    or   similar   oil   under 
the  supervision  of  such   inspector.     After  dipping  or 
spraying  they  shall  be  submitted  to  inspection  before 
shipment.     Cattle  not  visibly  diseased,  but  which  are 
known   to  be  part  of  a   diseased   herd,    intended   for 
stockers  or   feeders,   shall   be  dipped  once  under  the 
supervision  of  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry    in    either    the    lime-and-sulphur   or    the   to- 
bacco-and-sulphur   dip    before    being    shipped    inter- 
state ;  or    they    shall    be    either    dipped    once    in,    or 
sprayed  once  with,  a  properly  prepared  emulsion  of 
Beaumont  crude  petroleum  or  similar  oil  under  the 
supervision  of  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry.     However,   diseased   cattle   may   be  dipped 
once  in  either  the  lime-and-sulphur  or  the  tobacco- 
and-sulphur  dip  under  the  supervision  of  an  inspector 
of  the   Bureau   of  Animal    Industry   at  the  point   of 
origin  and  shipped  interstate  for  stocking  or  feeding 
purposes    if   arrangements   have   been   made   for   the 


17 

second  dipping  en  route  or  at  destination  at  the  re- 
quired time  after  the  first  dipping  at  a  point  where 
there  is  an  inspector  stationed  and  under  his  super- 
vision. Cattle  not  visibly  diseased,  but  which  are 
known  to  be  part  of  a  diseased  herd,  shipped  to  an- 
other State  or  Territory  for  feeding  or  stoclving  pur- 
poses, may  be  dipped  or  sprayed  en  route  instead  of 
at  point  of  origin  by  special  permission  first  had  and 
obtained  from  the  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  In- 
dustry. 

Reg-ulation  23.  Healthy  cattle  in  a  State  or  Terri- 
tory not  quarantined  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture 
for  scabies  in  cattle  may  be  shipped  interstate  in  clean 
cars,  without  inspection,  for  slaughter  or  for  stockers 
or  feeders ;  but  if  the  said  cattle  be  unloaded  en  route 
or  at  destination  and  placed  in  infectious  premises, 
they  shall  be  treated  as  exposed  cattle,  and  shall 
not  be  forwarded  to  destination  for  purposes  other 
than  for  immediate  slaughter  until  they  shall  have 
been  dipped  or  sprayed  once,  under  the  supervision 
of  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry, 
in  any  dip  or  mixture  herein  approved. 

Regulation  24.  When  diseased  cattle  that  have  been 
dipped  once  in  either  the  lime-and-sulphur  or  the  to- 
bacco-and-sulphur  dip,  or  that  have  been  either  dipped 
once  in,,  or  sprayed  once  with,  the  petroleum  or  oil 
emulsion,  or  when  cattle  not  visibly  diseased  but 
which  are  known  to  be  a  part  of  a  diseased  herd,  are 
shipped  interstate  in  accordance  with  Regulation  22, 
the  proper  officers  of  the  transportation  company  shall 
aflix  to  both  sides  of  each  car  carrying  such  cattle  a 
durable,  conspicuous  placard,  not  less  than  5*  by  8 
inches  in  size,  on  which  shall  be  printed  with  perma- 
nent black  ink  in  bold-face  letters  not  less  than  li 
inches  in  height  the  words  "  dipped  scabby  cattle," 
or  "  CATTLE  EXPOSED  TO  SCABIES,''  as  the  case  may  be. 
These  placards  shall  also  show  the  name  of  the  place 
from  which  the  shipment  was  made,  the  date  of  the 
shipment  (which  must  correspond  with  the  date  of  the 
waybills  and  other  papers),  the  name  of  the  transpor- 
tation company,  and  the  name  of  the  place  of  destina- 
tion. Each  of  the  wayl)ills,  conductors'  manifests, 
memoranda,  and  bills  of  lading  pertaining  to  sucii 
shipments    by    cars    or    boats    shall    have    the    words

DIPPED      SCAI5RY      CATTLE.         Ol'      "  CATTLE      EXPOSED      TO 

SCABIES. "'  Jis  the  case  may  be,  written  or  stamped  upon 
its  face.  Whenever  such  shipments  are  transferred  to 
another  transportation  company  or  into  other  cars  or 
into  otlicr  boats,  or  are  rebilled  or  reconsigned  to  a 
point  otiier  than  the  original  destination,  the  cars  into 
whicli  said  cattle  are  transferred  and  the  new  waybills, 
conductors'  manifests,  memoranda,  and  bills  of  lading 
covering  sm-h  shipments  by  cars  or  boats  shall  be 
marked  as  herein  specified  for  cars  first  carrying  said 
cattle  and  for  the  billing,  etc.,  covering  the  same.  If 
for  any  reason  the  placards  required  bj^  this  regula- 
tion are  removed  from  the  car  or  are  destroyed  or  ren- 
dered illegible,  they  shall  be  innnediately  replaced  by 
the  transportation  company  or  its  agents ;  the  inten- 
tion being  that  legible  placards  shall  be  maintained  on 
the  cars  from  the  time  of  shipment  until  they  arrive 
at  destination  or  point  of  dipping  or  spraying,  and  the 
disposition  of  the  cars  is  indicated  by  an  inspector  of 
the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry. 

Regulation  25.  The  dips  now  approved  by  the  De- 
partment are  the  lime-and-sulphur  dip.  the  tobacco- 
and-sulphur  dip,  and  Beaumont  crude  petroleum.  The 
lime-and-sulphur  dip  is  made  in  the  proportion  of  12 
pounds  of  unslaked  lime  and  24  pounds  of  flowers 
of  sulphur  to  100  gallons  of  water.  The  tobacco-and- 
sulphur  dip  is  made  with  sufficient  extract  of  tobacco 
or  nicotine  solution  to  give  a  n.iixture  containing  not 
less  than  five  one-bundredths  of  1  per  cent  of  nicotine 
and  2  per  cent  flowers  of  sulphur.  Proprietary  diiis 
may  be  used  under  provisions  similar  to  those  set  out 
in  Regulation  33.  When  Beaumont  crude  petroleum 
or  similar  oil  or  an  emulsion  thereof  is  used  as  a  dip 
or  spray  for  cattle  diseased  with  or  exposed  to  scabies, 
one  dipping  or  spraying  only  is  necessary.  The  De- 
partment disclaims  responsibility  for  any  loss  or 
damage  resulting  from  the  dipping  or  spraying. 

Regulation  26.  Cattle  shipped  interstate  under  a 
certificate  from  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry  are  not  guaranteed  uninterrupted  transit,  for 
in  the  event  of  the  discovery  of  scabies  or  of  exposure 
thereto  en  route  the  cattle  shall  thereafter  be  handled 
as  diseased  or  exposed  cattle,  as  hereinbefore  pro- 
vided, and  the  cars  or  other  vehicles  and  the  chutes. 


19 

alleys,  and  pens  whic-li  have  been  occupied  by  them 
shall  be  cleaned  and  disinfected  as  hereinafter  pro- 
vided. 

Reg-ulation  27.  Public  stock  yards  shall  be  con- 
sidered infectious  and  the  cattle  yarded  therein  as 
having  been  exix)sed  to  the  disease,  and  no  cattle 
shall  be  removed  therefrom  to  another  State,  Terri- 
tory, or  the  District  of  Columbia,  except  for  imme- 
diate slaughter,  without  dipping.  Where,  however, 
a  part  or  all  of  the  stock  yards  is  reserved  and  set 
apart  for  the  reception  of  uninfected  shipments  of 
cattle  and  is  kept  free  of  disease,  cattle  may  be 
shipped  interstate  from  the  uninfectious  yards  or 
portions  thereof  without  dipping.  If  diseased  cattle 
are  introduced  into  the  uninfectious  yards  or  portions 
thereof,  they  shall  be  immediately  removed  therefrom, 
and  the  chutes,  alleys,  and  pens  used  by  them  thor- 
oughly cleaned  and  disinfected.  No  cattle  shall  be 
shipped  interstate  for  feeding  or  stocking  purposes 
from  any  stock  yards  where  an  inspector  of  the  Bu- 
reau of  Animal  Industry  is  stationed  without  a  certi- 
ficate of  inspection  or  of  dipping  or  spraying  issued 
by  the  said  inspector. 

Regulation  28.  Cars  and  other  vehicles,  yards,  pens, 
sheds,  chutes,  etc..  which  have  contained  diseased 
cattle  shall  be  cleaned  and  disinfected  in  the  follovr- 
iug  manner :  Remove  all  the  litter  and  manure  and 
then  saturate  the  interior  surfaces  of  the  cars  and 
woodwork,  flooring,  and  ground  of  the  chutes,  alleys, 
and  pens  with  a  5  per  cent  solution  of  pure  carbolic 
acid  in  water,  with  suflicient  lime  to  show  where  it 
has  been  applied,

OF    SCABIES    IN    SHEEP. 

Effective  AiJril  15.  1901. 

Regulation  29.  No  sheep  which  are  diseased  with 
scabies  shall  be  shipped,  trailed,  otherwise  removed, 
or  allowed  to  drift  from  one  State.  Territory,  or  the 
District  of  Columbia,  into  another  State.  Territory, 
or  the  District  of  Columbia,  except  as  hereinafter  pro- 
vided :  and  no  sheep  shall  be  shipped,  trailed,  other- 
wise removed,  or  allowed  to  drift  from  a  State  or  Ter- 
ritory or  portion  thereof  ciuarautined  for  the  disease 


20 

of  scabies  iu  sheep  iuto  another  State,  Territory,  or 
the  District  of  Columbia,  except  as  hereinafter  pro- 
vided, initil  the  sheep  shall  have  been  inspected  by  an 
inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  found  to 
be  free  from  the  disease  and  from  exposure  thereto, 
and  are  accompanied  by  a  certificate  from  the  said  in- 
spector.    All  of  the  sheep  in  a  certain  flock  or  ship- 
ment in  which  the  disease  is  present  shall  be  classed 
as  diseased  sheep,  and  none  of  them  shall  be  removed 
or   offered   for    interstate    shipment    until    dipped    as 
hereinafter  provided.     The  practice  of   "  picking "   a 
flock — i.  e.,  removing  sheep  which  are  visibly  diseased 
and  then  offering  any  portion  of  the  remaining  sheep 
for  either  inspection  or  interstate  shipment,  or  both — 
is  directly  and  positively  prohibited. 

Regulation  30.  Healthy  sheep  iu  an  area  not  quar- 
antined for  the  disease  of  scabies  in  sheep  which  have 
not  been  exposed  to  the  disease  may  be  shipped  or 
trailed  interstate  without  restriction  by  the  regula- 
tions of  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  to  prevent  the 
spread  of  scabies  in  sheep;  but  if  said  sheep  be  un- 
loaded en  route  or  at  destination  and  are  placed  in 
infectious  premises  they  shall  thereafter  be  treated 
as  exposed  sheep  and  shall  not  be  forwarded  to  des- 
tination for  purposes  other  than  immediate  slaughter 
until  they  shall  have  been  dipped  under  the  super- 
vision of  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  In- 
dustry. 

Regulation  31.  Sheep  that  are  diseased  with  scabies 
and  that  have  been  dipped  once  in  one  of  the  approved 
dips,  under  the  supervision  of  an  inspector  of  the 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  within  ten  days  of  date 
of  shipment,  may  be  shipped  interstate  for  immediate 
slaughter  to  a  recognized  slaughtering  center,  and 
when  so  shipped  the  said  sheep  shall  not  be  diverted 
en  route  and  shall  be  slaughtered  within  two  weeks 
after  arrival  at  destination.  If  diseased  sheep  are  to 
be  shipped  interstate  for  stocking  or  feeding  purposes 
they  shall  be  dipped  twice  as  above  indicated,  ten 
days  apart,  and  shall  be  submitted  to  inspection 
before  shipment. 

Sheep  that  are  not  diseased  with  scabies,  but  which 
have  been  exposed  to  the  contagion  of  the  disease,  may 
be  moved  interstate  for  feeding  or  stocking  purposes 


21 

after  one  dipping,  or  they  may  be  shipped  interstate 
by  rail  or  boat  to  a  recognized  slaughtering  center  for 
immediate  slaughter  without  dipping. 

Reg-ulation  32.  When  diseased  sheep  have  been 
dipped  once  and  are  shipped  interstate  for  slaughter 
in  accordance  with  Regulation  31,  or  when  exposed 
sheep  are  shipped  interstate  without  dipping  for  im- 
mediate slaughter  in  accordance  with  Regulation  31, 
the  proper  officers  of  the  transportation  company 
shall  affix  to  both  sides  of  each  car  a  durable  placard 
not  less  than  5^  by  8  inches  in  size,  on  which  shall  be 
printed  with  permanent  black  ink  in  bold-face  letters 
not  less  than  lA  inches  in  height  the  words  "  dipped 

SCABBY  SHEEP  ''  Or  "  EXPOSED  SHEEP  FOR  SLAUGHTER," 

as  the  case  may  be.  These  placards  shall  also  show 
the  name  of  the  place  from  which  the  shipment  was 
made,  the  date  of  the  shipment  (which  must  corre- 
spond with  the  date  of  the  waybills  and  other  papers), 
the  Jiame  of  the  transportation  company,  and  the  name 
of  the  place  of  destination.  Each  of  the  waybills, 
conductors"  manifests,  memoranda,  and  bills  of  lad- 
ing pertaining  to  such  shipments  by  cars  or  boats 
shall  have  the  words  "  dipped  scabby  sheep  ''  or  "  ex- 
posed SHEEP  FOR  slaughter,"  as  the  case  may  be, 
written  or  stamped  upon  its  face.  Whenever  such 
shipments  are  transferred  to  another  transportation 
company  or  into  other  cars  or  into  other  boats,  or 
are  rebilled  or  reconsigned  to  a  point  other  than 
the  original  destination  the  cars  into  which  said  sheep 
are  transferred  and  the  new  waybills,  conductors' 
manifests,  memoranda,  and  bills  of  lading  covering 
such  shipments  by  cars  or  boats  shall  be  marked  as 
herein  specified  for  cars  first  carrying  said  sheep  and 
for  the  billing,  etc..  covering  the  same.  If  for  any 
reason  the  placards  required  by  this  regulation  are 
removed  from  the  car  or  are  destroyed  or  rendered 
illegible,  they  shall  be  immediately  replaced  by  the 
transportation  company  or  its  agents,  the  intention  be- 
ing that  legible  placards  shall  be  maintained  on  the 
cars  from  the  time  of  shipment  until  they  arrive  at 
destination,  and  the  disposition  of  the  cars  is  indi- 
cated by  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  In- 
dustry.

Regulation  33.  The  dips  now  approved  are : 

(a)  The  tobacco-and-sulpbur  dip,  made  with  suf- 
ficient extract  of  tobacco  or  nicotine  solution  to  give 
a  mixture  containing  not  less  than  five  one-hun- 
dredtlis  of  1  i>er  cent  of  nicotine  and  2  per  cent 
flowers  of  sulithur :  Provided,  That  for  the  first  dip- 
ping of  infected  sheep,  in  lieu  of  the  suli)hur  herein 
prescribed,  a  sufficient  additional  amount  of  extract 
of  tobacco  or  nicotine  solution  shall  be  used  to  give 
a  mixture  containing  not  less  than  seven  one-hun- 
dredths  of  1  per  cent  of  nicotine. 

(6)  The  lime-and-sulphur  dip,  made  by  mixing  8 
pounds  of  unslaked  lime  and  24  pounds  of  flowers  of 
sulphur  and  boiling  with  30  gallons  of  water  for  not 
less  than  two  hours.  All  sediment  should  be  allowed 
to  subside  before  the  liquid  is  placed  in  the  dipping 
vat.  This  liquid  should  be  diluted  sufficiently  to 
make  100  gallons   before  use; 

And  pending  further  investigation,  the  following- 
described  dips : 

(c)  The  cresol  dip,  which  consists  of  a  mixture  of 
cresylic  acid «  with  soap.  When  diluted  ready  for 
use  this  dip  should  contain  one-half  of  1  per  cent  of 
cresylic  acid. 

(d)  The  coal-tar  creosote  dip,  which  is  made  by 
mixing  coal-tar  creosote  or  coal-tar  oils  and  cresylic 
acid  separately  with  resin  soap  in  varying  propor- 
tions. This  dip  should  contain  when  diluted  ready  for 
use  not  less  than  1  per  cent  by  weight  of  coal-tar 
oils  and  cresylic  acid.  In  no  case  should  the  diluted 
dip  contain  more  than  four-tenths  of  1  per  cent  nor 
less  than  one-tenth  of  1  per  cent  of  cresylic  acid ; 
but  when  the  proportion  of  cresylic  acid  falls  below 
two-tenths  of  1  per  cent  the  coal-tar  oils  should  be 
increased  sufficiently  to  bring  the  total  of  the  tar 
oils  and  the  cresylic  acid  in  the  diluted  dip  up  to  1.2 
per  cent  by  weight. 

The  cresol  dip  and  the  coal-tar  creosote  dip  should 
alwavs  be  tested  on  a  small  scale  with  the  water  and 


«  By  the  term  cresylic  acid  as  used  in  tliese  rej?ulations  is 
meant  cresols  and  other  phenols  derived  from  coal  tar,  none 
of  which  boils  below  185°  C.  nor  above  250°  C. 


23 

under  the  conditions  to  be  employed  in  dipping  in 
order  to  avoid  possible  injury  to  stock.  The  diluted 
sample  should  be  allowed  to  stand  for  at  least  an 
hour.  If  after  this  leng1:h  of  time  there  is  a  separa- 
tion of  an  oily  layer  the  dip  should  not  be  used  with 
that  kind  of  water.  Especial  care  in  this  connection 
is  necessary  where  hard  water  is  to  be  used. 

In  the  undiluted  coal-tar  creosote  dips  there  may 
be,  in  cold  weather  especially,  a  separation  of  naph- 
thalene and  other  constitutents  of  the  dip.  Care 
should  therefore  be  taken  to  see  that  the  concentrated 
dip  is  homogeneous  in  character  before  using  any 
portion  of  it. 

Manufacturers  who  desire  the  Department  to  ap- 
prove their  dips  for  official  dipping  should  submit  a 
sample  of  their  product  to  the  Bureau  of  Animal  In- 
dustry in  Washington  and  accompany  this  with  the 
formula  used  in  preparing  the  dip. 

Before  a  proprietary  substance  is  approved  for  use 
in  official  dipping  the  manufacturer  must  agree  as 
follows : 

(1)  To  recommend  for  sheep  scab  a  dilution  of  his 
product  which  is  approved  by  the  Department  of 
Agriculture. 

(2)  To  maintain  his  product  of  uniform  composi- 
tion. 

(3)  To  place  on  packages  of  dips  which  have  been 
approved  the  following  statement: 

A  sample  of  this  product  has  been  submitted  to  the 
Department  of  Agriculture  for  examination.  AYe 
guarantee  the  contents  of  this  package  to  be  of  the 
same  composition  as  the  sample  submitted  to  the  De- 
partment, and  that  when  diluted  according  to  the 
directions  printed  hereon  for  the  treatment  of  sheep 
scab  it  will  give  a  dipping  fluid  of  the  composition 

required  of  a  "   dip  by  the  regulations  of  the 

Secretary  of  Agriculture  governing  sheep  scab. 

(4)  To  have  on  containers  or  advertising  matter 
no  reference  to  the  United  States  Government  or 
any  of  its  Departments  except  as  provided  in  the 
preceding  paragraph. 

"  There  should  be  inserted  here  the  name  of  the  class  of 
dips  to  which  the  product  belongs,  such  as  '*  cresol,"  or 
••  lime  and  suiohur."  etc.

Regulation  34.  Tho  dipping  shall  be  done  carefully 
and  tlu'  slieei)  handled  as  humanely  as  possible.  The 
l)t'i)artment  disclaims  responsibility  for  any  loss  or 
dama.i^e  resulting  from  the  dipping,  and  those  who 
wish  to  avoid  any  risks  that  may  be  incident  to  dip- 
ping at  the  stock  yards,  as  well  as  to  avoid  liability 
to  prosecution,  should  see  that  their  sheep  are  free 
from  disease  before  shipping  them  to  market. 

Regulation  35.  Sheep  shipped  interstate  under  a 
cvrtiticate  from  an  inspector  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal 
Industry  are  uot  guaranteed  uninterrupted  transit: 
for  in  the  event  of  the  discovery  of  scabies  or  of 
exposure  thereto  en  route  the  sheep  shall  thereafter 
be  handled  as  diseased  or  exposed  sheep,  as  herein- 
before provided,  and  the  cars  or  other  vehicles  and 
the  chutes,  alleys,  and  pens  which  have  been  occupied 
by  them  shall  be  cleaned  and  disinfected,  as  herein- 
after provided. 

Regulation  36.  Public  stock  yards  shall  be  con- 
sidered infectious  and  the  sheep  yarded  therein  as 
having  been  exposed  to  the  disease,  and  no  sheep  shall 
be  shipped  interstate  therefrom,  except  for  immediate 
slaughter,  without  dipping.  Where,  however,  a  part 
or  all  of  the  stock  yards  is  reserved  and  set  apart  for 
the  reception  of  uninfected  shipments  of  sheep  anil 
is  kept  free  of  disease,  sheep  may  be  shipped  inter- 
state from  the  uninfectious  yards  or  portions  thereof 
without  dipping.  If  diseased  sheep  are  introduced 
into  the  uninfectious  yards  or  portions  thereof,  they 
shall  be  immediately  removed  therefrom  and  the 
chutes,  alleys,  and  pens  occupied  by  the  said  sheep 
shall  be  thoroughly  cleaned  and  disinfected.  No  sheep 
shall  be  shipped  interstate  for  feeding  or  stocking 
purposes  from  any  stock  yards  where  an  inspector  of 
the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  is  stationed  without 
a  certificate  of  inspection  or  of  dipping  issued  by  the 
said  inspector. 

Regulation  37.  Cars  and  other  vehicles,  yards,  pens, 
sheds,  chutes,  etc.,  that  have  contained  diseased  sheep 
shall  be  cleaned  and  disinfected  in  the  following 
manner:  Remove  all  litter  and  manure  and  then  sat- 
urate the  interior  surfaces  of  the  cars  and  the  wood- 
work, flooring,  and  ground  of  the  sheds,  alleyways, 
and  pens  with  a  solution  containing  5  per  cent  of  pure 
carbolic  acid  or  with  a  solution  containing  2  per  cent 


25 

of  cresol.  When  cre.sol  is  used  it  must  be  mixed  with 
soft  soap  in  order  to  reuder  it  easily  soluble  in  cold 
water.  Cars  and  premises  are  not  required  to  be 
cleaned  and  disinfected  on  account  of  their  having 
contained  "  dipped  scabby  sheep "  tliat  have  been 
dipped  within  ten  days  or  sheep  that  have  been  ex- 
posed to  scabies.  In  determininir  exposure,  all  sheep 
in  a  flock  or  shipment  in  which  disease  is  present 
shall  be  classed  as  diseased.

posed to  the  contagion  of  either  disease. 

Regulation  43.  Swine  which  are  not  diseased  with 
hog  «holera  or  swine  plague  and  which  have  not  been 


27 


exposed  to  the  infection  thereof  may  be  shipped  from 
one  State  or  Territory  or  the  District  of  Columbia 
into  another  State  or  Territory  or  the  District  of 
Columbia  without  restriction  by  the  regulations  of  the 
Secretary  of  Agriculture  and  subject  only  to  such 
restrictions  as  maj'  be  imposed  on  the  shipment  by 
State  or  Territorial  or  District  of  Columbia  officers  at 
destination. 

Regulation  44.  Public  stock  yards  shall  be  con-

diseased  and  have  been  merely  exposed  by  being  in_ 
the  yards  may  be  shipped  interstate  to  a  recognized 
slaughtering  center  for  immediate  slaughter.  Where, 
however,  a  part  of  the  yard  is  set  apart  for  the  re- 
ception of  uninfected  shipments  of  swine  and  is  kept 
free  of  infection,  swine  may  be  shipped  interstate 
from  the  uninfectious  portions  thereof  without  re- 
striction. Should  such  part  be  contaminated  by  the 
introduction  of  diseased  swine,  said  animals  shall
